00:00 Introduction
01:42 Storm the Camp is a good scenario.
04:14 The warband system sucks.
06:39 Ingold is better than Hurin.
09:29 Angmar is perfectly balanced.
12:29 Legendary Legions should be for narrative play only.
16:15 Value of a hero shouldn't be whether it can make its points back.
24:42 Trolls need a buff.
28:33 Profile stats should max at 12.
30:24 Heroic Channeling sucks.
33:46 Shooting should be better.
37:37 Durin is a great hero.
